Elon University launched HealthEU, an initiative that is part of the Boldly Elon Strategic Plan for 2030. Under Theme 2, Thrive, this campaign focuses on wellness in six areas — community, emotional, financial, physical, purpose and social. 

In her president’s address, Connie Book said the program invites students, faculty and staff to both practice and support wellness and health. The launch of this campaign comes after the extension and expansion of TimelyCare. 

In an interview with Elon News Network, Dean of Students Jana Lynn Patterson said investments in services like TimelyCare benefit the campus community because it links a variety of campus resources in one place.

“It’s a hefty investment, but it’s an investment in our students,” Patterson said. 

This new website will serve as a central hub for all things wellness and well-being, according to the university. Framework for this initiative furthers the university’s commitment to physical and mental health.

According to the strategic plan, the objectives for promoting health and well-being are: 
  • Implement well-being initiatives 
  • Renovate Koury Center 
  • Lead national conversations on academic-residential partnerships
  • Add 1,200 beds, renovate older residential neighborhoods and have 80% of undergraduates living on campus
  • Reimagine and renovate Moseley Center
  • Become carbon neutral by 2037
